Hello guys, I think I broke my watch....

First of all I wanna say that my watch stopped vibrating a few months ago, seems like vibration is broken. Dont know why it happened but it wont vibrate.

I was trying to change the rom of my watch and I did all the wipes from recovery (system included). I was ready to sideload the rom but I though, hey, I am gonna reboot my watch again. I rebooted from recovery clicking on reboot bootloader. It didnt reboot to the fastboot. Instead it rebooted to the system and now its stuck on the Huawei logo, but there is not system since I wiped it!

I tried to restart to the fastboot mode just like in this video

and some other posts in here say like this one

Since my watch wont vibrate i dont know when exactly i need to press the power button or if it even works since I wiped the system. I dont really know what to do. Hope you guys seen anything like this before and can help me fix it. Thanks a lot!

Hello there. I know this is a late reply, but I hope i can still be of help.

I had some problems with this myself, and I noticed one thing. During the boot the watch is recognized as an ADB device, which means you can type "adb reboot bootloader", to boot it to the bootloader (I'm not sure if this will work when system is wiped). However, if you need to get into recovery, this was a bit trickier. "adb reboot recovery" didn't seem to work since it just rebooted it normally. What i ended up doing was to just boot into the bootloader, and use the fastboot command: "fastboot boot [twrp-recovery.img], and then reboot to recovery from there (Again, not sure if it will work with wiped system partition). Which worked.
I hope this can help you :)
